What’s New

The Academy for the Love of Learning has moved into its new headquarters building on the Seton Castle site near Santa Fe, New Mexico. A part of that facility is the Seton Gallery and Seton Library. The gallery is open two Saturdays each month and also by appointment. Visit the Academy website for more information.

This year’s special exhibit at the Philmont Museum and Seton Library at Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico is on “E.T. Seton and The Indian Costume Book.” We haven’t seen it yet, but plan to make it out there later this year. The topic is interesting because the last time I was at the museum, the docent expressed disappointment that The Indian Costume Book was one book they did not have in the library.

Two current books of interest to Seton aficionados are Ernest Thompson Seton; The Life and Legacy of an Artist-Conservationist by David L. Witt and The Scouting Party by David C. Scott and Brendan Murphy.
